World's Largest Pinata - Neatorama

The world's largest pinata was recently constructed in Philadelphia, breaking a Guiness World's Record. It was 94 feet long, 24 feet wide, 60 feet high, and was stuffed with 8,000 pounds of candy. A wrecking ball was used to crack it open.

Oh man. They really should have just had a bunch of folks attack it with bats. That would've been epic. :)

I saw a story about this. It said that the police stopped them at first from going ahead with the wrecking ball stunt because they were worried about how people would react to all that candy. From the video AllForFun posted it looks like they just sprung the built in trap door.

This was a PR stunt for Carnival, they also made the worlds largest beach ball.

I wish they would have hung this bad boy from a crane.

I wonder how much it would cost to get one of those at my next party. That would be so much fun on a college campus...
